Why The Press Protests
By S. Burton Heath
Newspapers try not to bore readers with their busi-
ness and professional troubles. Ordinarily they lean
over backward not to take advantage of their command
over news and editorial spi>ce to discuss industry prob-
lems. This rule is broken most often when there is an
attempt to suppress or color news.
Why is that? Are reporters' difficulties in gathering
news, and editors' difficulties in publishing it, of any greater
public interest and importance than the mechanic's difficulty
in getting a recalcitrant machine to run?
* * *
We think Yes. We think so because successful democracy
rests upon an informed public sentiment, which in turn de-
pends exclusively upon the ability of reporters to obtain ac-
curate news and editors to publish it.
If no newspaperman is permitted to cover the food
conference at Hot Springs, scheduled for May 18, then
all newspapers save the heavy expense to which oth-
erwise they would be put.
It is reported that Dean G. Acheson, assistant secretary
of state, promises a plan is being worked out which will ad-
mit the press "'at the proper times." What times will be
deemed "proper" remain to be seen.
* * *
If every newspaper depends upon, government handouts
prepared under the censorial pencils of bureaucrats, then
no newspaper is discriminated against. Again, hf accepting
the situation and relying upon press-agentry, the newspa-
pers' financial problems would be solved.
Moreover, the Food Conference is not likely to pro-
duce "hot news." It is much less interesting intrinsically
than dozens of other assignments on which reporters
could be sent.
But newspapers, in addition to being commercial enter-
prises in the sense that they can operate only so long as they
earn at least as much as they spend, pride themselves upon
living up conscientiously to a public responsibility greater
—for newspapers as an institution—than that of any agency
of government.
The newspapers are willingly co-operating to withhold
a tremendous volume of news which the axis would give
many divisions to possess. But they are not willing to suit
idly around and. by acquiescing in the suppression of non-
military news or the distortion of published "facts." to assist
in breaking down public confidence in the only medium
that gives eyes and ears to the public on a national and
world-wide scale.
If the newspapers were to acquiesce in the Hot
Springs suppression, or to soft pedals the crisis in OWI.
these would constitute precedents for further encroach- .
menus upon the. public right to keep abreast of current
history in the rhaking.
Major-General Doolittle pledges raids till (he japs beg for
mercy—which they are not. entitled to.

DARK JUNGLES
By JOHN C. FLEMING & LOSS EBY
1J LA'S PLOT
CH APT E R X XI1
Sunset was bathing the estan-
eia clearing in a crimson mist
when Lila. Barry and Renaldo
came out of the jungle. A chat-
tering flock of parakeets beat
noisy wings in sudden flight.
Barry's hand closed on Lila's
arm.
"Technicolor, uh?" ho whis-
pered. He stood watching the
brilliant scene and Renaldo pau
sed beside him. A muffled fury
and desperation caught up l.ila.
Would the fools never get back
to the house? But she forced
herself to stand quietly.
"It's what, gets you about jun-
gle country," Barry said. "Vou
never know what mad whim na-
ture will be throwing next."
"No," Renaldo smiled, "You
only know it will be sudden- —
and vigorous."
They moved on finally, and
crossed the clearing.
Allison greeted them from the
veranda. In th'e sunset glow, she
was a misty vision in her full-
skirted evening gown of sheer-
est tulle. Lila could have killed
her.

to get her hands on that yel-
low-haired vixen, she thought
savagely. A shower took away

"This will do nicely," s'"e mur-

over her head. Hut she seethed
furiously as she snapped it up
and fastened her diamond clips
at her ears and breast. She was
sick of,the dress — almost as
sick of it. as she was of this
place. Something must happen
soon. She couldn't carry on this
ridiculous masquerade much
longer - not even for Barry

room looking tall and regal and
serene.
/.-dim, dark Renaldo, in spot-
less whites, was a handsome
gallant, and Barry, with his
broad shoulders, his clean-cut
features, his engaging grin, look-
ed the spirit of conviviality.
Over the shining, hand-hewn
mahogany table they toasted
Renaldo, the candlelight gleam-
ing on their copper cups of
wine.
"1 wish for you many, many,
happy years on the plantation,"
Allison cried.
Renaldo's black eyes held a
sudden gleam as they met Alli-
son's across the table. 'His voice
was low. vibrant, with tense
quest ioning.
"May 1 hope the same for
you?" he said.
Harry glanced sharply at the
girl. She ignored the significant
ton- and went on smiling warm-
ly and blithely at Renaldo.
"Thank you," she murmured.
"It's not exactly the way you
welcomed me, is it, Barry?"
"lit is not," said Barry. And
the three of them laughed, with
deep amustment. "In fact," Bar
ry added, grinning, "Renaldo
and 1 had a pact to get you on
the next boat back."
"It, was nice of you," Allison
declared. "I don't like trickery."
"Neither do I," said Barry
with sudden fervor.
Allison's eyes met Lila's for
the briefest instant, their laugh-
ter definitely mocking.
One delicate, rich course fol-
lowed another. As the lighted
cake was carried in, an Indian
played his marimba in the
moonlit living room, the wail-
ins native melody weaving
through their laughter. Through
the low, wide windows, the dark
figures of natives could be seen
drifting at a respectful distance
from the Big House for a glimp-
se of the g;da scene.
Harry smiled across at Lila.
"With company like this, darl-
ing." he cried, "it won't matter
if the quicksilver mines keep
us down here for years."
"No," Lila eched with a
sharp laugh. She turned to Re-

Renaldo turned to her, a
gleam of proud satisfaction in
his dark eyes. "In about three
days," he said. "Then we shall
begin packing the mules." Drawn
out on the subject by her sud-
den show of interest, he began
a description of the process of
sending chicle to the States. He
strolled with her out onto the
veranda still deep in his sub-
ject. When he had finished, he
lit his pipe.
"Fascinating, isn't it?" he said.
Lila blew a wreath of smoke
and answered steadily, "No, it's
completely boring to me.
The Spaniard stared at her
till his lighted match l^urned
his fingers. She regarded him
with cynical humor, as she burst
out in sudden venom. "I hate
the whole stupid business. I
hate this miserable excuse for
existence down here."
"Then why," Renaldo asked,
"do you 'stay here?"
"Because Bariy won't go
home," she said. "And 1 won't
go without him."
Renaldo's black eytes sharpen-
ed. "You're afraid of his attacks
of fever perhaps?" he said soft-
ly-
She met his gaze for a long
time. Then she said bluntly,
"1 am afraid of Allison Topp-
ing."
With a glow of satisfaction she
saw apprehension leap into the
Spaniard's eyes. "I thought you
might help me get Barry back
to the States," she said quietly.
She felt easier. .She had not
misjudged the handsome Renal-
do. He was in love with Allison.
He would give a great deal to
be rid of Barry at this moment.
"But Barry is determined to
complete the mine negotiations
with the Quiches," he frowned.
"If the Quiches proved — too
unfriendly," Lila murmured cry
ptically, "because of his first

School Lesson
PETER, 'MOST HUMAN, OP'
DISCIPLES, MAN OF 'WEAK-
NESSES, FORGETFVLNESS
Text: John 21:1 S-^4
By William E. Gllroy, D.D.
Editor of Advance
Peter may not have been the
greatest of the 12 Apostles, es-
pecially judged by the standard
of greatness in humility and ser-
vice that Jesus established for
His disciples, but he was cer-
tainly the most human and in-
teresting.
The story of the relations be-
tween Jesus and Peter, as we
get glimpses of it in various
parts of Scripture, appeals to
most of us because Peter was
so very much like ourselves. He
was a man of high aspirations
c'-nd of serious weakness, moved
by strong impulses of good, but
subject also to great tempta-
tions, loyal to the Master and
ioyal to his friends with a deep
intensity, yet capable of a for-
getfulness or a failure that
amounted almost to treachery.
We must .not read or study
this lesson without having in
mind the verses in Luke 22 (31-
34), which give us the most vital
insight into Peter's character as
the Master saw him, and also tell
of the deep love of the Master
which was to lie Peter's an-
chorage and strength. "And the
Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold,
Satan hath desired to have you.
that he may sift you as wheat;
But I have prayed for thee, that
thy faith fail not, and when thou
art converted, strengthen thy
brethren."
Peter had indeed been sifted
as wheat, and in the final test
apparently he had failed He had
fallen asleep when the Master
left him' supposedly watching
with James and John as He went
into the Garden of Gethsemane.
He had denied is Master thrice,
surely not out of cowardice but
because, in a mood of depression
when things seemed sinking and
the dream that he had followed
was vanishing, his faith had
been temporarily blotted out.
But he had gone out and wept
bitterly. And now it is in our
lesson that the Master restores
the broken-hearted Peter to the
fullness of His confidence.
Peter had been foremost, to
the point of boastfulness, in as-
serting his faith and Ids loyal-
ty. It was with this in mind that
Jesus asked him now whether
he loyefl Him more than the
others. Boastful Peter had lost
all his boastfulness; he was con-
tent now to say merely that he
loved the Master, and he did not
add "more than other."
As three times he had denied
his Master, so three times now
he asserted his love, and Jesus
characteristically gave him a
task, also making it plain that
he also would have to bear his
Cross and suffer for the sake of
his faith and his loyalty.
A touch of the old Peter lin-
gers as, when Jesus had predict-
ed Peter's future, Peter turned
to the Lord and asked concern-
ing John, "Lord, what shall this
man do?" But the Master's re-
buke was mild, "What is that to
thee? Follow thou me."
It is a triumphant Peter that
we see at last, still in some mea-
sure a Peter of his moods and
his weakness, but with a new
faith and strength, going forth
to do his part in the founding
of the Christian Church. It was
the new Peter who was to preach
go back with me."
"But 1 don't believe they will,"
Renaldo's low voice objected.
"Then surely — he could be
given a strong impression of
unfriendliness . . ." Her black
eyes held the Spaniard hypnoti-
cally as she murmured on.

Insomnia is'not a disease. It

the cure for insomnia depends
on the elimination of, or adjust-

cos may not be recognized by
the person affected as the preci-
pitating factors of sleeplessne#
they must be done away with if
normal sleep is to be resumed.
Certain stimulants are well-
known causes of wakefullness,
l.ke c.offce, tea, and even
cohol for some people—but n™
all peonle are affected by all
these things. Stimulating talk,
exchange of ideas producing ex-
citement may lead to insomnia

one of these reasons come
one who normally sleeps well,
and take on the aspect of a bad
habit, which can be broken, but
Which for the time being is ex-
tremely annoying. £
Persistent, habitual insomnia;
particularly in older people,
may of course be due to some
organic disorder like hardening
of the arteries or high blood-
pressure. But elimination
most insomnia except the la*
mentioned can be undertaken
by the victim himself once he
recognizes the source of his
stimulation and removes it from
